Not much ivory on me these days. By day I design/build actual systems, by night I make music. "Create or die" is just the way I look at life.
"Publish or perish" is another story. I rail against the tenure system (didn't make me the most popular faculty member in meetings back in the day) and plenty of schools don't use it. It is an artifact of when academic research was at risk due to the whims of administrators. Now research is at the whims of funding which is a different dynamic. Tenure doesn't give you any advantages imho and instead becomes an impediment for both the individual as well as the institution.
